| Name Origin: Originally a poetical title for the whole of Japan, and one of the provinces is still so named. The first Emperor Jimmu, at the close of a protracted expedition against the aborigines on which he set out from his palace of Takachiho, established himself in a new palace at Kashiwabara - literally "oak plain" - in this province of Yamato in Central Japan, and the date on which he did so is regarded as the beginning of the Japanese Empire. The Imperial records fix the exact date as February 11th, in the year 660BC, and the existence of the Empire is officially reckoned therefrom. |
| Name Origin: The origin of this is uncertain. It is now generally taken to mean in the narrower sense a citizen of New England, in the wider (European) sense a citizen of the United States. |

| Name Origin: Field Marshal Count Hans Yorck von Wartenburg, born 1759, died 1830. He entered the Prussian Army in 1772, but was dismissed for insubordination in 1779. Seven years later, however, he rejoined, after serving the Dutch in the East Indies. He fought with distinction in the wars against Napoleon, and in 1813, when Governor-General of Prussia, placed himself at the head of the great movement known as the "Volks-Bewaffnung" (people in arms) directed against the humiliating treaty which Prussia had been forced to make with Napoleon. He had a decisive share in the victorious battle on the Katzbach in August of that year, and then forcing the passage of the Elbe at Wartenburg (whence his title) took part in the great battle of Leipzig, in which he defeated Marechal Marmont, who was specially opposed to him. There is a tradition in the family that it is of common origin with that of the Earls of Hardwicke (Yorke). |
